Lifeline for Sickle Cell charity
Lebo Diseko
A charity that gives support to people with blood disorders has been saved from closure, thanks to a grant from the Big Lottery Fund amounting to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia Support Group of Barking, Dagenham and Havering works with sufferers of these disorders. The organisation had been struggling to keep up with overheads as it saw funds for its projects cut.
However a lottery grant worth more than £200,000 means the charity can continue the work it does helping people with Sickle Cell Anaemia and Thalassaemia in the area.
Sickle Cell Anaemia is an inherited genetic condition in which there's an abnormality in haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein found in red blood cells.
It makes red blood cells become sickle shaped, preventing oxygen from getting through to blood vessels and causing severe pain and damage to organs. These blockages of the blood vessels cause debilitating episodes called a crisis. It's often described as feeling like a miniature heart-attack and can affect any part of the body. As a result sufferers often have to be hospitalised for weeks at a time.
A sickle shaped blood cell
The disorder mainly affects people of African or Caribbean descent. However it also affects people from Asia, the Middle East and the Mediterranean.
Thalassaemia is another inherited abnormality of haemoglobin, more common in people of Mediterranean or Asian origin. The condition leaves sufferers severely anaemic.
Founder Cecilia Shoetan set the charity up after the death of her daughter Lorraine from medical complications brought on as a result of the incurable Sickle Cell condition.
The 63 year old from Colliers Row said the organisation would not have been able to keep doing their work without the grant:
"The grant couldn't have come at a better time as we had been forced to reduce our activities more and more. It's not something we wanted to do but had little choice.
"When the letter arrived from the Big Lottery Fund I was absolutely delighted, and so were all our members, as the advice and services we provide could help save someone's life.
"It will now allow us to further develop our Family Support Project and expand our educational programme to help people in the area have a better understanding of the illness, and also fulfil the needs of families living with the conditions.
"We have over 200 members in all and at least 60 of those are service users," adds Mrs Shoetan who works from the group's head office at Community House, Romford.
"Unfortunately there is not a lot of wider public knowledge about the conditions so the funding will go a long way to dealing with that issue. But we urge all sufferers out there to register with us."
If you or anyone you know needs support or information on the disorders or want to contact the support group email Cecilia on firstname.lastname@example.com

Preliminary plans have been revealed for two more residential projects that together "would add more than 2,100 residential units and 1.7 million square feet" to Two Bridges, the area along the East River where the Lower East Side meets Chinatown. A building at 271-283 South Street may rise 60 stories, while another at 260 South Street could reach 66 stories.

Artwashing. What a great new political watchword. As in, watch out that your neighbourhood doesn't get "artwashed" too. Just look how Tate Modern has wrecked London and how the Guggenheim trashed Bilbao. Get away, ye galleries! Let's keep urban wastelands as bleak as they already are! It's a neat reversal of the thinking that has seen cities all over the world embrace art galleries, museums and biennials in pursuit of regeneration.

The editorial hones in on struggles by residents of the Los Angeles neighborhood of Boyle Heights to push back against a rapid influx of galleries, which they view as the avant-garde of gentrification.

In this New York Times interview with Ginia Bellafante, Jeanne Gang discusses the importance and challenges of designing work that isn't simply aesthetically pleasing, but that influences positive changes in social behavior and policy. In addition to her work on waterways, she discusses her idea behind designing a fire rescue station in one of New York City's poorest and most violent neighborhoods:

You feel like you trust a firefighter, a rescue worker. And those doors on the building are often open. And we even put a bench in the front of the building so people can actually sit there instead of taking this approach of creating a fortress, which I think is a contrast to what we see in the design of police stations.

And so really designing this Fire Rescue 2 started me thinking about, are there ways that design could help improve the relationship between community members and police if we looked at the architecture? Not that it can solve everything. But I think, you know, maybe it can ...

Mayor Eric Garcetti's office released a statement yesterday announcing that Gruen Associates, Mia Lehrer + Associates, Oyler Wu Collaborative, and civil and structural engineering firm Psomas will design the final 12 miles of the San Fernando Valley portion of the Los Angeles River Greenway. The Greenway would allow Angelenos to walk or bike from Canoga Park to Elysian Valley.

No project renderings for now, as the designers will begin conducting a feasibility study over the next nine months. According to the press release, the Greenway "will address important objectives" in both the City's/Frank Gehry's (still yet to be revealed) Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan as well as L.A.

Grand Avenue's Music Center Plaza is about to get a major renovation for the first time since it opened to the public in 1964. Often overshadowed (literally) by the prominent Downtown venues that stand above it, the plaza is a gathering place and event space in its own right. Thus, a major part of the plan would increase event capacity from 1,500 to 2,500. [LA County] has already given $2 million to plan the project, with $25 million of funding expected down the road.

Earlier in my career I was based in Chicago but I was working in Nigeria and also doing some graduate work in the summer in England.

The longest trip I packed for was 60 days in the same suitcase and it covered a month in England and a month in Nigeria.

It was a tough time in my life, but it was also kind of utopian as well because there are certain advantages to being highly mobile.

In Germany today there are 1.8 million Turks. Every year 93.5% of those people travel from Germany to Turkey at least one time, that is nearly 1.7 million Turks across all strata of society who regularly travel between cities in Germany and cities in Turkey.

Looking at the lifestyle of this population, Bernd Upmeyer develops a theory of a new form of urbanism in his book Binational Urbanism.

What does post-Katrina architecture look like in New Orleans? And what does it reveal about its society? In their survey in Places, Richard Campanella and Cassidy Rosen discover that historical styles are 14 times more popular than contemporary styles in the rebuilt city, despite the focus of media coverage on experimental projects like Make It Right. The retro revival pays homage to 19th-century New Orleans and a past that has become both a refuge from the present and a cicerone to the future.

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill released new rendering of their proposal for a master plan for Philadelphia's 30th Street Station Precinct. Described as a "long-awaited vision of a bold, fully-integrated mixed-use urban district, with a vibrant transformation hub situated at its core," the project in part is a response to research suggesting a "sizable uptick in transit activity in the coming decades."

The master plan centers around the historic 30th Street Station, a Beaux Arts building that sits on the western bank of the Schuylkill River, which divides the city. The proposal includes shops, restaurants, and other spaces intended to foster an "iconic destination." The total project area is 18,000,000 square feet.

Block a highway, and you upend the economic life of a city, as well as the spatial logic that has long allowed people to pass through them without encountering their poverty or problems. Block a highway, and you command a lot more attention than would a rally outside a church or city hall — from traffic helicopters, immobile commuters, alarmed officials.

The article notes that, historically, highway construction decimated black communities, such as in St. Paul, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Oakland, and many other cities. In New York, Robert Moses explicitly used highways to clear "slums," in the process devastating parts of the Bronx and other black neighborhoods.

Highways were also used as weapons in the arsenal of segregation. For example in Chicago, Mayor Richard Daley separated traditionally white Irish neighborhoods from black communities in the South Side with the Dan Ryan Expressway.

Today, highways carry additional symbolic weight for Black Lives Matter protestors. Many of the black men killed by police over the past few years – Philando Castile, for example – were stopped in routine traffic checks.

Infrastructure also has symbolic resonance in the larger history of the civil rights movement. The article mentions as examples the Selma March, the Freedom Rides, and Rosa Park's refusal to sit at the back of a public bus.

Debates are rubbish. We've all been there: a panel of similar people with similar views taking it in turns to talk at length about their similar work - too polite, too deferential, too dull. At best they are lukewarm love-ins, critically impotent, elitist and stuffy. Turncoats is a shot in the arm.

Turncoats, a provocative architectural debating society that originated in London last year, has expanded to Scotland, the USA, Canada and Serbia, with more cities in the pipeline. The London originators have turned the premise into a franchise, inviting cities to apply for free and start a Turncoats debate series. The aim is to start confrontational and challenging architectural debate, and make it free for anyone who wants to listen. The premise of a Turncoats debate is the presentation of two opposing 'theatrically provocative opening gambits', then, in the spirit of its name the opposing parties switch sides.

I attended 'Rip it Up and Start Again', held in Glasgow, Scotland last week. In the Turncoats tradition, mobile phones are placed in envelopes to prohibit recording and a 'shot in the dark' of tequila and a Turncoats badge is offered on arrival.

The Economist Plaza was designed by Alison and Peter Smithson in the 1960s and still serves as a seminal example of an inviting and approachable urban space in Central London. The project is successful because it bravely addresses the clash between the aesthetic of the Smithsons and the surrounding historic fabric.

St. James's is steeped in history and tradition. The Economist Plaza itself shares a wall with Boodle's, a historic private member's club designed with Palladian windows and other classical features. In contrast, the Smithsons advocated the aesthetic for New Brutalism by examining and questioning the work of modernists like Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier. They were hired for this project after completing the Hunstanton School in Norfolk.

The Smithsons scheme may appear to be modernist but it subtly addresses the surrounding architecture. The original complex contained an office tower, residential building and bank. The Portland stone cladding references classical mater...

To most people, zoning and land-use regulations might conjure up little more than images of late-night City Council meetings full of gadflies and minutiae. But these laws go a long way toward determining some fundamental aspects of life: what American neighborhoods look like, who gets to live where and what schools their children attend. And when zoning laws get out of hand, economists say, the damage to the American economy and society can be profound.

"Studies have shown that laws aimed at things like "maintaining neighborhood character" or limiting how many unrelated people can live together in the same house contribute to racial segregation and deeper class disparities. They also exacerbate inequality by restricting the housing supply in places where demand is greatest."

The study chose to focus on 12,312 suicides that took place in 17 U.S. states in 2012. According to the CDC report, "Occupational groups were stratified by sex, and rates of suicide were calculated for each group using denominators derived from the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey March Supplement (5), which includes a question about the person's primary occupation during the previous calendar year."

That's what Los Angeles is like in 2056. L.A. is the densest city in the U.S., with a population that's about a third larger than it was in 2016. Taller buildings are everywhere, including New DTLA — a corridor of super-talls that runs the length of Wilshire all the way to Santa Monica.

Construction has started at New Slussen, a major Foster + Partners project in the center of Stockholm. One of the largest urban projects in Sweden, the SEK 12 Billion project is intended to "create a dynamic urban quarter, responding to its historic context and transforming the city centre," according to the press release.

Slussen was originally built in 1642 as a lock separating the ocean from the freshwater Lake Mälaren before being covered by a concrete "four-leaf clover" structure in 1935. The deterioration of the concrete structure made a new master plan an urgent necessity.

The Foster + Partners plan includes new transportation links as well as new commercial buildings and cultural amenities. The plan is intended to maintain the historic scale of the area, while adding new public spaces as well as pedestrian and bicycle routes. It also will expand the capacity of the lock five-fold to minimize the threat of flooding.

These days, you can find a Steve Pomerance in cities across the country — people who moved somewhere before it exploded and now worry that growth is killing the place they love. But a growing body of economic literature suggests that anti-growth sentiment, when multiplied across countless unheralded local development battles, is a major factor in creating a stagnant and less equal American economy.

Twenty years ago, you could walk from Little Venice to the Sainsbury's at Kensal Green and barely see a moored boat. Now, they are two abreast almost the entire way, on both sides of the canal.

Post-Brexit, the British government has turned into a real hot mess. The pound dropped to its lowest value against the dollar in 30 years ($1.31), and after Prime Minister David Cameron announced his resignation, Parliament is in turmoil and has yet to name a reliably likely successor. All this uncertainty has pulled some of the UK's biggest projects into jeopardy.

As Global Construction Review puts it: "All the same, most Britons ended the week unsure 1) who will be in government in three months, 2) when a general election might happen, 3) when Article 50 will be invoked, triggering the formal two-year Brexit negotiation process, or even if 4) Article 50 would ever be invoked at all, given the chorus of voices, both in Parliament and among the general public, calling for a second referendum."

In this atmosphere, Électricité de France is reconsidering its proposal to build a new nuclear power station in Hinkley Point, and the drop in the pound's value has led to concerns that the UK c...

In 2019, New York City's Hurricane Sandy-damaged L Train tunnel will shut down for repairs, making it tricky to get across the East River without a new form of transport. In a competition sponsored by the Van Alen Institute to find alternatives, AECOM suggested building a fiber-glass fabric tunnel for pedestrians that could also double as a projection space.

The tunnel, which an AECOM designer likened to an inflatable condom in this DNA info article, would have segments above and below the water line in order to enable river traffic to pass over it.

However, the super-sized prophylactic ended up being a hard sell, losing out to the docking ferry proposal "Transient Transit" (pictured above) designed by BuroHappold Engineering and Kohn Pederson Fox Associates for the competition's $1,000 prize.

Oh, SF BART Twitter account—back at it again with the going rogue. This time, instead of getting real with folks on the platform, they decided to have a little fun with the Los Angeles Metro account, challenging them to a full-on haiku battle on Twitter this past Friday.

The official Twitter account for the BART isn't sycophantic or pandering: when confronted with customer concerns, it answers them with actual facts, even if those facts wouldn't gel with a traditional PR department. Now, however, the BART account has gone one step further and is outright having fun, challenging the LA Metro and New York's MTA to a haiku battle.

While it's safe to say that both the BART and the LA Metro should keep their day jobs, having a playfully-minded transit system is not necessarily a bad thing.

When not writing haikus, here's what else public transit is up to:

Hoping to show the world his country is doing just fine despite sanctions and outside pressure over its nuclear weapons program, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has put his soldier-builders to work on yet another major [skyscraper] project Pyongyang's new Pyonghattan, officially called "Ryomyong Street," is to have the country's tallest apartment building, at 70 stories, along with a 50-story building and a handful of smaller ones in the 30-40 story range.

"[Kim's] soldier-builders are now putting up the frames for each new floor at the reportedly breakneck-pace of 14 hours to get it all done by the end of the year."

Sidewalk Labs, a secretive subsidiary of Alphabet, wants to radically overhaul public parking and transportation in American cities, emails and documents obtained by the Guardian reveal. Its high-tech services, which it calls "new superpowers to extend access and mobility", could make it easier to drive and park in cities and create hybrid public/private transit options that rely heavily on ride-share services such as Uber.

"But they might also gut traditional bus services and require cities to invest heavily in Google's own technologies, experts fear."

Y Combinator, the startup accelerator and investment firm that helped produce Airbnb, Dropbox, and Instacart, is embarking on a creation project arguably more ambitious than any company. "We want to build cities," wrote Y Combinator partner Adora Cheung and President Sam Altman...the project aims to develop ways to reduce housing expenses by 90 percent and to develop a city code of laws simple enough to fit on 100 pages of text. Eventually the plan is to actually produce a prototype city.

"We're not trying to build a utopia for techies," says Cheung, the project's director and the former CEO of failed housecleaning startup Homejoy. "This is a city for humans."

Exactly one month ago, PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem stood at a podium with Jack Vickers, tournament founder of The International, and announced that after 21 years the event would be canceled, leaving a fracture in the current schedule for the Fourth of July weekend. Since then, the prevalent question has been: Now what?
It was disclosed last week that a new tournament, to be based in Washington, D.C., and sponsored by the Tiger Woods Foundation, would fill that gap. And on Wednesday, more details were revealed, as we continued piecing together the clues to what could become one of the more prominent annual regular-season events.
The event officially will be known on the PGA Tour schedule as the AT&T National. But make no mistake -- this is Tiger's Tournament.
With this designation comes plenty of clout, as tour events these days are categorized simply by with or without -- those with Woods in the field (and there likely will be only 16-18 such tournaments this year, including majors and World Golf events) are considered more prestigious and successful, as other top players follow suit, TV ratings increase and there is generally greater interest; those without Woods lack the star appeal he carries and flounder in comparison.
This latest announcement is a no-brainer, win-win proposition for the tour. Not only did it fill a gaping hole in its schedule but it did so with its most-prized possession stamping his name on the event, giving it instant respectability.
Consider it another in a recent line of shrewd moves by Finchem. His FedEx Cup format, in which players will compete during the season for inclusion in a four-event playoff series that culminates in a $10 million champion, has been panned widely by critics for its hackneyed role in proclaiming a "winner" of the PGA Tour season. But it certainly beats the alternative -- a previous autumn schedule that offered little excitement and faded from the forefront of fans' consciousness during Major League Baseball playoffs and the beginning of the NFL season. And the new schedule has allowed for The Players Championship to move to May, giving the tour a headlining event in each month of the season.
Now the tour has replaced a fringe tournament -- The International was known more for its quirky Modified Stableford scoring format and long-distance drives in the thin Rocky Mountain air than anything else -- with one that should command a modicum of renown within golf's inner circles.
Although Woods might not compete in this year's tournament -- wife Elin reportedly is due to give birth to their first child in early July -- he most certainly will become a major player in future editions of the event. It automatically vaults the AT&T National into one of the upper-echelon events on the schedule, but perhaps more importantly cements Tiger's place among the legends of golf. At 31, Woods already owns 55 career PGA Tour victories and 12 major championship titles; now he joins Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer as the only living golfers to play host to their own tour events.
"This is a dream come true for myself," Woods said at a news conference Wednesday. "I remember back when I first came on tour and was able to play events and we started our foundation in 1997, my focus and my goal one day with my father one day was to be able to host an event on the PGA Tour. This is a pretty momentous day for us because we are lucky enough to have the opportunity to do that. I just wish my father could have been here to see it."
Of course, there are still some pretty major details that need to be ironed out. For instance: Where will this year's tournament take place? Finchem revealed that the tour's first choice is Congressional Country Club, site of two previous U.S. Open championships (Ernie Els won in 1997, Ken Venturi in '64), host of seven Kemper Opens (1980-86) and an interim venue for the Booz Allen Classic in 2005.
A vote will be taken at Congressional in coming weeks as to whether it will play host to the event. If the motion passes, the tour will be coming to a proven venue for at least the next two years; if it fails, other alternatives includes TPC Avenel in Potomac, Md., and Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Manassas, Va.
Just in case Tiger's presence and the promise of an old-style, challenging course aren't enough to make the AT&T totally fan-friendly, the tournament also will offer free admission to any person currently serving active military duty and all children under 12.
Those sounds you hear coming from Colorado are the folks at the now-defunct International collectively cringing at the thought of such a potentially successful undertaking taking the place of their event. In his announcement one month ago, Vickers said, "We have one outstanding, unbelievable player in the form of Tiger Woods today, and when he's playing, the ratings are great. And when he isn't playing, the ratings aren't so hot."
It's utterly ironic that The International was canceled, in part, because it couldn't encourage Woods to show up since 1999. Here's guessing the folks in Denver will watch the new tournament in D.C. with a bittersweet taste in their mouths, but it's proof once more that Tiger Woods wields plenty of power on the PGA Tour.

Angie's List Plunges After Lockup Ends on Insider Sales
Angie's List Inc., the consumer-review website that went public in November, plunged to a record low after a ban was lifted on stock sales by some of the company's biggest investors.
Angie's List retreated 16 percent to $11.17 at the close in New York, the lowest since the company's initial public offering on Nov. 16. The shares have slumped 14 percent since the IPO.
Investors holding 44 percent of common shares are eligible to sell stock as of today, the company said in regulatory filings. The Indianapolis-based company shows user reviews of plumbers, electricians and other service providers. Angie's List shares may be pulled down by the results of Groupon Inc., which also relies on local businesses and has fallen 62 percent since its IPO the same month.
"Groupon took a tumble," Sameet Sinha, a San Francisco-based analyst at B. Riley & Co., said in an interview. "It is seeing a sign of slowdown, and people are correlating that with a general slowdown in companies in the local business market."
Groupon, the largest daily-deal website, plunged to a record low today after the company reported second-quarter revenue that missed estimates as economic weakness in Europe curbed online coupon sales. The shares retreated 27 percent to $5.51 at the close in New York, the biggest decline since the company's November IPO.
Angie's List raised $114 million in an IPO after pricing shares at $13 apiece, the top of the proposed range, and held a secondary offering May 15. Investors who sold stock in the follow-on offering include affiliates of Battery Ventures and Angie Hicks, who started Angie's List in 1995, regulatory filings show.
Cheryl Reed, a spokeswoman for Angie's List, declined to comment.

Short version of question: What parameter do I need to pass to the
clone system call on x86_64 Linux system if I want to allocate a new TLS area for the thread that I am creating.
Long version:
I am working on a research project and for something I am experimenting with I want to create threads using the
clone system call instead of using
pthread_create. However, I also want to be able to use thread local storage. I don't plan on creating many threads right now, so it would be fine for me to create a new TLS area for each thread that I create with the clone system call.
I was looking at the man page for
clone and it has the following information about the flag for the TLS parameter:
CLONE_SETTLS (since Linux 2.5.32)
The newtls argument is the new TLS (Thread Local Storage) descriptor.
(See set_thread_area(2).)
So I looked at the man page for
set_thread_area and noticed the following which looked promising:
When set_thread_area() is passed an entry_number of -1, it uses a
free TLS entry. If set_thread_area() finds a free TLS entry, the value of
u_info->entry_number is set upon return to show which entry was changed.
However, after experimenting with this some it appears that
set_thread_area is not implemented in my system (Ubunut 10.04 on an x86_64 platform). When I run the following code I get an error that says:
set_thread_area() failed: Function not implemented
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <linux/unistd.h>
#include <asm/ldt.h>
int main()
struct user_desc u_info;
u_info.entry_number = -1;
int rc = syscall(SYS_set_thread_area,&u_info);
if(rc < 0) {
perror("set_thread_area() failed");
printf("entry_number is %d",u_info.entry_number);
I also saw that when I use strace the see what happens when
pthread_create is called that I don't see any calls to
set_thread_area. I have also been looking at the nptl pthread source code to try to understand what they do when creating threads. But I don't completely understand it yet and I think it is more complex than what I'm trying to do since I don't need something that is as robust at the pthread implementation. I'm assuming that the
set_thread_area system call is for x86 and that there is a different mechanism used for
x86_64. But for the moment I have not been able to figure out what it is so I'm hoping this question will help me get some ideas about what I need to look at.

A Little Bit of Banff in Japan - well kind of!
It was a very scenic 45 minute train ride through the mountains to our next destination, Yufuin on the Yufuin Express – a historic sightseeing train with all wooden finishes including hardwood oak floors. Yufuin is fairly small in size about 15,000 people but many tourists arrive each day to take in the charms of this town and setting. The town sits in a valley surrounded by mountains – it has a bit of a Banff feel to it. The tourist stick to the ...
From sand bath to mud bath to hot water bath
... stopped at Hoyoland onsen where you can enjoy a mud bath and your typical onsen. There are inside and outside mud bath. We could not take any pictures but I can tell you that it was a nice relaxing experience that made our skins very soft ;) Back at the hotel, as we just did not have enough onsens for today, we went to the outdoor bath at the hotel ;) Then dinner was served in our room: another banquet of delicious seafood. To finish ...
Sea, aquarium and fugu fish... A theme day maybe?
... play video games or sleep (like Willem). It is nice and relaxed ;) Beppu is known for its hot springs so the program will pretty much resemble the one of Dogo Onsen: bathing and relaxing. We arrived at the hotel too early to check in and decided to go for lunch. We then headed for the Beppu aquarium. When we arrived, there was a show with walruses doing all kind of tricks. It was quite sad to ...
Hiroshima, Miyajima Shrine
... up close because the tide was low. We then decided to hike up to the top of the island. Wow! This was a great hike, the prettiest hike I've ever done. Along the way we visited other shrines and we were able to witness a private ceremony. Cool! We continued to hike up to 2000 feet on stairs alone!!!! It was tough, but we did it. And it was worth it! The views from the observatory were incredible. We decided to take the cable car down and that was also cool! Our next stop ...
Kumamoto and Beppu
We made it to Kumamoto!! It is East of Nagasaki. We decided to come here because there is a castle! We were only here for one day. We went to this beautiful castle in the center of the city that was built by Lord Kato Kiyamasa hundreds of years ago. Most of it has been destroyed by fire or war so only part of the castle is original. The rest is a reconstruction. We saw a video of this and the craftsmanship is so detailed and so carefully ...

The celebrities competing for the Season 22 mirrorball have been announced. While, it's not the most star-studded, I'm quite like the cast. My only gripe is that there's three football players in the mix. Sure Doug Flutie is retired but still, do we need three? I feel one probably got called in after another male star flaked.
Speaking of men, I'm rooting for ANTM alum Nyle DiMarco and Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller. Over on the women's side, I'm torn between several names. You have former OC actress Mischa Barton, RHOA's Kim Fields, Fuller House star Jodie Sweetin and Donald Trump's second wife Marla Maples all in the mix. I can't wait for all the Trump digs with the latter. This should be good.
The professional dancers competing are also noteworthy. Artem Chiqvinstev returns from Strictly Come Dancing. Sasha Farber gets promoted again from the Troupe. Peta Murgatroyd is healthy again after skipping last season due to an injury. Lastly and certainly not least, fan favorite Edyta Sliwinska is back. She hasn't competed since Season 10. Sadly, she's paired up with Geraldo Rivera which likely means she won't win.
Speaking of perennial loser. Keo Motsepe finally has a partner that has massive potential. It'll be a shocker if he gets eliminated within the first couple of weeks again. Check out the Dancing With The Stars Season 22 couplings below and weigh in on which celebs you're rooting for.
After watching the season premiere of Dancing With The Stars, I feel content with the predictions I made prior to the first telecast. Most of the celebrities performed as I thought they would with a couple notable exceptions. Both Andy Dick and Wynonna Judd impressed and entertained with their debut performances. That said, I still think they're going to be eliminated within the first five weeks.
The stars had to dance either a cha cha cha, a foxtrot or a contemporary on the first night. With no results show until Tuesday, March 26, all of them get a second chance to impress viewers next Monday. Check out all the performances below and find out which ones were my three favorites and worst pick.
After going with an All-Stars edition, Dancing With The Stars is going back to basics for Season 16. While I enjoyed seeing returning favorites, I'm looking forward to tonight's season premiere. While the star wattage isn't as high as in previous seasons, I already have a few people I'm rooting for. Lisa Vanderpump, I'm talking about you.
Getting a first look at the "celebrities" with their professional partners is always exciting to watch. While I do enjoy witnessing the trainwrecks, I'm more stoked to see who comes bursting out of the gates gunning for the mirrorball trophy. Check out my predictions on how Season 16's stars will fare.
Without a doubt, Andy Dick will be one of the first to go. I just can't see the 47-year-old comedian having any sort of rhythm. Former ABC sitcom star DL Hughley might have some dancing prowess, but don't think he has the fan base to support him. Speaking of fans, everyone knows that country music has diehard ones. Normally I would put Wynonna Judd higher, but with Kellie Pickler also in the competition, I think Judd will suffer and be ousted early.
Also in this bunch is my favorite Lisa Vanderpump. While popular with Housewives addicts (myself included), she probably isn't well known outside the Bravo universe. Hopefully her signature wit and sass will win over new fans quickly. Last in this list is boxer Victor Ortiz. I'm sure when it comes to demographics, there isn't much crossover between DWTS and boxing watchers. His chances aren't helped by being saddled with new professional, Lindsay Arnold either. I thoroughly believe, viewers also vote for their favorite pros.
My favorite part of every Dancing With The Stars season is the first episode. After weeks of buildup and buzz, we finally get to see who has the stuff to take it all the way and who's there simply for fodder and ratings. This season that title goes to Andy Dick. I just can't see the Newsradio star doing well. Poor Sharna Burgess. After spending several seasons in the Dance Troupe, she finally gets promoted to the big time, but saddled with Dick. LOL. With that said, the duo looks like they having lots of fun in their official promo photo.
ABC just released all the competing stars with their professional partners. This crop of wannabe hoofers doesn't have the star wattage as previous ones, but I'm really looking forward to this season. We have new pro blood in the form of STYCYD alum Lindsay Arnold, Gleb Savchenko and the aforementioned Burgess. Based on first impressions Karina Smirnoff, Derek Hough and Val Chmerkovskiy have the best chemistry with their stars. Check out all the photos below.

ESF Leads Test of Weapon Against Harmful Algal Bloom
Nearly $400,000 grant awarded to Great Lakes Research Consortium
The Great Lakes Research Consortium at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) has been awarded a three-year grant of $399,658 to test the use of hydrogen peroxide to control hazardous blue-green algae blooms that have formed on the southern shore on Lake Ontario in Sodus Bay, N.Y.
Dr. Greg Boyer, director of the Great Lakes Research Consortium and professor of chemistry at ESF, said, "The treatment being studied, liquid hydrogen peroxide, has been successfully used in the Netherlands where it was applied in the control of cyanobacteria at swimming beaches."
In addition, Boyer said the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency used a similar approach this past April to control toxic cyanobacteria at the state parks at Grand Lake St Mary's State Park.
Algae blooms became abundant on Sodus Bay in 2010 shortening the area's busy tourism season. The economic loss was estimated to be in the millions of dollars, according to Save Our Sodus, a community group formed to promote water quality.
The first phase started in August 2011 to identify potential 'hotspots" for bloom formation. Phase 2 starts next summer with the treatment being applied in small areas. This will allow a determination of the minimal level of peroxide needed to remove the cyanobacteria when a larger area of the bay is treated. There will probably be some large plastic enclosures on the bay where limited treatment will be applied with the option of full-scale treatment in two years.
The N.Y. Department of Environmental Conservation will also be involved in the permitting process and will assist with detailed monitoring of the effects and safety of this material on plankton, zooplankton and fish populations.
Boyer notes, "This effort is a short-term approach that is part of a larger effort working with the Wayne County Soil and Water Conservation District, Save our Sodus, and the local towns and communities to address both the cyanobacteria problem and weed growth through changes in the nutrient loads, watershed management and control of invasive species."

Federal Hill bar gains opposition from residents
Residents are protesting plans for a biergarten.
By Jess Mayhugh. Posted on June 25, 2013, 9:30 am
-Crossbar via Facebook
Back in April, the owners of Ryleigh's Oyster in Federal Hill announced plans for a German biergarten at 12-18 E. Cross Street. Crossbar Der Biergarten would replace the former home of Turners/Billabong and expand next door into what was Lanasa Produce. The bar would feature a $100,000 kitchen, historical architectural elements, and have permanent picnic style seating, akin to an authentic German beer hall.
"If you go around the country in places like New York City, San Francisco, and Philadelphia, you will find great German biergartens in neighborhoods just like Federal Hill," owner Brian McComas said at a community meeting. "We take a lot of pride in Ryleigh's and will do the same at Crossbar. If Crossbar has a negative impact, it will affect us at Ryleigh's as well."
Since the announcement, Federal Hill residents have already predicted that negative impact, saying that the last thing Federal Hill needs is another "mega-bar." In an opinion piece published yesterday on Baltimore Brew, Federal Hill resident Diana Sugg wrote, "In the last several years, as many bars in Federal Hill have expanded, these [drunken] scenes have become routine. Families wake up to find cigarette butts, half-eaten pieces of pizza, and other trash on their stoops."
Sugg went on to list some facts: "Over the last decade, even though the number of liquor licenses in the immediate vicinity of the Cross Street Market has stayed the same (34), the capacity of these bars has grown from a maximum of 3,751 potential drinkers in 2003, to 5,025 in 2013—a 34 percent increase."
This writer and other residents feel that Crossbar is the latest example of this mega-bar trend. The Federal Hill Neighborhood Association is leading the opposition to Crossbar, with the support of four other neighborhoods: Federal Hill South, Otterbein, Sharp-Leadenhall, and South Baltimore. More than 400 residents have signed petitions against the Crossbar proposal.
The group will be heard before the Baltimore City Board of Liquor License Commissioners this Thursday afternoon.

I've been searching around the web everywhere for a PHP script that would allow me to list my 3 latest Blogger posts according to the XML Blogger makes. I can't find anything. The only thing I could find was a page that said I would need to use a Magpie library that isn't available for download.
Example of what I mean - Near the bottom of http://www.dreamten.com/ - although that's WordPress.
Any ideas where I can find such a script?
Edit: Found a website that offers a Javascript solution similar to what I'm looking for, but that can't possibly be the only way, right? If the site goes down then a part of mine does too. Not that great a solution.
